While clearing out, I found these. It's some of the stuff I used to practice on from a comic when I was still at high school, I was still learning to sketch. There's better slightly more recent stuff using ink but I haven't come across those yet.

This guy was some sort of Warlord from the tales of Halo Jones 2000AD, I liked the snakes and tusks.

This is an Ice Daemon being speared from the 2000AD story of Slaine Macroth.

Rogue Trooper again 2000AD.

This is from a book cover. The Horseclans book III I think.

Joe Pineapples, who was originally and assassin of the ABC (Atomic/Bacterial/Chemical) warriors. An outfit of War Droid that fought against the VOLG or something (Russian/German/Warsaw pac Coalition forces).

This one I did without any graphic references from the comic. It was just a doodle.

Ulysses Sweet, Maniac for Hire. Say hello to were the Dial'O'Death idea sprang from. The Maniacs were already on the go then.

Yup, 14. It was around the same time I started reading sci-fi and fantasy novels and comics constantly. I would always end up drawing everyone's characters in any RPG, and once I did a cover for a local band. These are only ok, most of them are smudged for shading instead of cross hatched which I didn't learn until later when I started using ink. I couldn't paint to save myself back then. I'm a little better now.

@Tzan: Yeah, less electronic distractions but then there were girls. I think they still have them even nowadays.

Nice! The last one is definitely my favorite. Great sense of depth in the first one, too.

And I would agreed whole-heartedly that art students are jerks most of the time. I go to a public university and they still act all stuck up. Also, my ex went to Pratt MWP and everyone there had the "holier than thou" attitude.
